The Cellar Door

Great service and very pleasant downstairs cellar. Thank you. P

Good foods with nice atmosphere and kind staff. I liked it.

Top service, lecker Essen, gutes Ambiente und außerdem sehr Kinderfreundlich.

It wasn’t just an amazing food but rather an amazing experience! We’ve decided to go for a special “Taste of Scotland” menu which doesn’t give you a choice but rather provides an opportunity to taste a number of most notorious local dishes. And all of them was astonishing, delicious. I guess the only regret we’ve had - we just couldn’t finish it all;-) Highly recommended!

My first haggis experience. Amazing ;-) A little bit too loud inside but it is a cellar. And because of that no problem.

Great food and very friendly service. We enjoyed the meal!

What a find ! Amazing place with such wonderful staff! Amber you are a gem! Lorna what a host! Food was excellent cooked to perfection.

Great food, great staff, great service. One of Edinburgh's hidden gems. Thoroughly recommend.

We had such lovely service and were actually surprised how good the food was. I had the haggis for a starter which was delicious. The lamb for main was cooked perfectly and I enjoyed the giant cous cous. I never usually have dessert but was tempted by the sticky toffee pudding. I loved that too! I was worried it was going to be touristy but it was full of local people. I would definitely come here again!

Cullen Skink main course had no lumps of fish in it. It was just a plain risotto in fish stock. Very disappointing.

Excellent value lunch menu with fantastic food. Very attentive waitress (Lydia)

Nice food and good service in a centrical cute place. Great lunch deal!

We were looking for a nice typical Scottish restaurant and we found it in this lovely restaurant with very kind servers and delicious food. We're from Holland and this was the first time we tried Haggis... and we didn't regret this at all.

Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere; service team was tremendous during a very busy evening. Highly recommended!

Staff really friendly, and graciously allowed us to do the set course menu for early-evening. If it had been a beautiful summer's evening, I may have preferred a less underground restaurant. But when it's dark out or pouring with rain, the Cellar Door is a lovely place to eat. I REALLY loved the offer of haggis or veggie haggis for £1 for visitors who may want to try the Scottish delicacy without committing too much.

Nice staff, tasty meal.Only table should be better placed, because of our bags, but we were satisfied.

Was casual, relaxing, good food and good location. Friendly staff.

Good but expensive food but quiet restaurant would go again

Very friendly with excellent food. Dietary requirements well cared for.

It’s always a pleasure to go to The Cellar Door. The food quality is great and service is outstanding!

An excellent meal at a very reasonable price. The staff were extremely helpful, patient, and friendly

Great spot, great hosts and really great food. Enough said!

Great service! Delicious food! I would definitely recommend this restaurant

Really tasty food for a reasonable price, will definitely go back.

Every restaurant can have a bad night but this was the worst meal we had during our week in Edinburgh. I hate to give a restaurant a bad review because I know how many jobs are attached. But I'd also hate for anyone to waste a night in Edinburgh here. The service and ambiance were fine but the food was not good. One of us had risotto that tasted as if it had simply been boiled in tap water. I could go on and on but if you're looking for somewhere to eat in Edinburgh...This is not a good choice.

It was a OK dinner for a Sunday night ...

The food was amazing and service was great! We are from New York (usa) and this was a great place for food and the atmosphere was interesting.

The haggis appetizer was delicious. The salmon and potato entree was perfectly cooked. The sticky toffee dessert was rich and satiating. A delicious meal!

I have been a few times but my friend had never been before and really liked the food and the service

Fantastic service, outstanding food with excellent drink pairing suggestions all reasonably priced considering the quality is so good! The ambience is set just right so that you feel you are in your own little private room, that you can totally relax and soak up every minute of the experience. One of the best places I have ever eaten! Definitely worth a visit!

The service and food was excellent. Molly was especially fabulous and her enthusiasm was shown.

Really satisfied. We were there basically just by ourselves as we missed the lunch rush, and it was perfect.

We had a great dinner was very tasty especially the dessert!

Good value. Subtly different veggie risotto.friendly efficient service aaa bbb

Unfortunately the reviews that we read before our meal we’re completely at odds with our own personal experience. We were rushed to the table, asked for our drinks order but hadn’t been given a drinks menu, the website menu was different to the actual menu, the mackerel pate was liquid and had to be returned, the venison quite chewy. The owner and manager were very apologetic and showed genuine concern and rectified the starter situation very quickly but the icing on the cake was a waitress who hadn’t actually served us who asked how our food was and gave us a slip for feedback with her name on it and then asked for a taxi to be ordered only to be told that it had been given to a couple from a different table so we went and found our own on the street. So very disappointed, we could see how much the owner and manager cared about our meal but the reality of the experience tells us that they’re victims of their own success, really sorry to have written such a review and I sincerely hope that they can learn from our feedback. Yours disappointedly....

It was a wonderful evening in every way! Perfect end to our holiday!

Very good food and service. Would recommend to anyone visiting.

I dined at The Cellar Door in the evening a few years ago and had no complaints. I am afraid our lunchtime experience recently was not great due to the food. Myself and a colleague had the burger and it was so tough I could barely cut it with my knife and nearly lost it to my colleague's plate at one point! Two other colleagues had the fishcakes and said it was so overpowering with mustard and capers, it was barely edible. Others had the battered fish and had no issues but it looked like it probably came out of the freezer so not sure that can be too difficult to get wrong. We decided not to stay for dessert because the food was so underwhelming. I don't like to complain about anything but feel that the food was definitely poor and I will not be back.

Great food! A little too noisy, and 30mn late dispite our reservation. But still a good experience, I recommand!

The menu was disappointing and some items were overpriced, for my tastes

very nice staff but the food was just ok not great

The staff very good and nice. Perfect diner in family.

Fantastic food. Excellent service. Will be back next time i am in Edinburgh.

during the busy time，it would be hard to get the Server’s notice

The skink starter was excellent! You wouldn't walk in based on the exterior entry, but it's really good.

Lovely food and good service, thanks to Mel our waitress

Bra, men noen syntes hjortefilet var for slintrete. ellers bra mat

Two lovely waitresses. Both charming and very helpful. Excellent value for money. Starter and sweet great. Main course mediocre. Wouldn’t put me off but neither would it be my first choice

I had a booking and they were waiting fo me when I arrive in. The times were corect and the services was really kind. I recommend The Cellar Door for a lunch experience, the food is also amazing!

So good , check this place out if you're in town
